I Completed My Phantom Relic, But...

[Veritas-Ancora]

My RPR relic is done. I did my Aetherwall to 10,000 across the board, my balls are now full.

Except now I have to farm 1,500 tomes per weapon.

This is ridiculous, it should have been gil or a substantially lesser amount of tomes.

There's too many weapons in the game. Even more than Endwalker, and I farmed every single stage of those bloody Manderville weapons.

For me to have put this much time and effort into getting the weapons, they should be more accessible.

REQUEST: I'm asking that you reduce the amount of tomes that are needed per stage. You can always adjust this in a subsequent patch.

I'm hopeful that you make this change.

You earn enough tomestones grinding the aetherwells to reach the cap several times over. The currency is really fast to earn and, on top of that, there is little meaningful use for them, given the Quetzali armor is obsolete and the materials can be bought off at the MB.

It's as accesible as it gets.

You don't need every single one of them in a few weeks. Just set aside tomes as a long-term goal.

All the other weapons being tomes is already essentially a handout, even compared to the now-ez HW relics for 16000 poetics and extra steps.

These forums are making a habit out of complaining that content that is meant to be grindy is every so slightly grindy...

[Valkyrie-Veil]

The relic weapons are meant to be a grind. I would be more concerned if you already had them all. What’s the rush?

Honestly, I just finished my aether grind and bought my 1st PH weapon, and I already had the extra 400 from my rous just doing a few of them today. It's fairly fast and simple for a new relic step, and I am going to farm for all my most played alt jobs it should only take a few days, each even coming from EW, relics which were the few I did on launch.

I just finished my last manderville weapon while working on my aetherballs.

I think they should make Demiatmas drop again so we can trade them in again as an alternative to tomes :P

[ServerCollaps]

lol "grind". The 1,500 tome relics are the easiest relics available. Every other relics step took multiple times as long.
Just do your casual daylie rous and be done with all weapons in a few weeks. Throw in some s ranks and a-trains, if you want to complete them even faster

[Awful]

Despite the game burning all around us, I'm still enjoying the relic.

I don't feel rushed, I feel the expectations are manageable, I'm playing roulette content I haven't seen in years, everything has been going well.

I'm hopeful that more relic steps are like this. It's not punishing but it does take a lot of work to get there.

Cheers to the developers for this step.

You said you don't feel rushed so what's the issue then? The time it takes? I mean it's relic you just grind tomes no different then EW kinda contradicts what you said in a previous post.
